libraryseraphI remember almost nothing about this episode
Well, it opens with Walt and Jesse scrubbing drug dealer of the floor, which is a heck of an opening. WHile cleaning, Walkt is flashing back to... university, i think, talking about the composition of the human body. It's not just Walt remembering better times, but it also puts the whole corpse smoothie situation into very clinical terms. Flashback Walt wonders if there's more to a human being than that, while Current Walt dumps what he's reduced a human being to down the drain.
Marie's first appearance being complaining about her shoes while Skyler and Walt Jr. paint the nursery really helps set up her character. Especially when she complains about SKyler being on the ladder... and then refuses to help.
"If it's between that and cold-blooded murder" bad call, Krazy. I feel like this whole scene is Walt ending up more determined to kill Krazy, bot less, because of Krazy talking to him as a person, simply because Krazy and his imprisonment just stop being something Walt can shove into a corner of his mind and forget about.
*Toilet scene* you know, this show won multiple emmies
I feel like Walter doesn't feel like listening to Jesse, but he doesn't like feeling like Jesse has power over him, or like he wants to prove Jesse wrong.
Cutting back and forth between Marie in the fancy shoe store and Hank at the drug raid during their phone conversation gives this whole scene a degree of absurdity, which it really benefits from, since we as viewers know how wrong they are about Walt jr smoking pot.
As is this scene, where Walt Jr. is just relentlessly confused.
"I seriously doubt that, since you quit two weeks ago" oh shit.
The sandwich making montage here indicates that Walt is really focussing on this, presumably as a distraction, and so he can feel like he's doing something right. And then later, we see him bonding with Krazy, and starting to trust him, and really starting to turn to him for human connection after what happened with Skyler. ANd then he puts the plate back together, and realizes Krazy was planning to kill him. And maybe in the course of their conversation, Krazy changed his mind, but Walt can't know that, and can;t trust in that. I think more than anything else, when he kills Krazy, he feels betrayed, because he thought they were bonding, and because he wanted to do something right after what happened with Skyler.
The way Walt accuses Krazy, chokes him before he can defend himself, and then breaks down apologizing feels like an example of categorization. He needs to shove Krazy back into the "thing I can deal with" category, so he keeps him as far away emptionally as possible, until he;s dead. Eventually, he'll stop needing that.
And here we have the unwitting circle, with Hank finding where the RV was parked, unaware of everything else.
And another flashback, with university Walt denying the existence of the soul and saying "its nothing but chemistry here" we're given no indication of whether current walt, who has just killed a man in cold blood, finds that more or less comforting. On one hand, it might make everything feel meaningless, ezpecially as he faces his own mortality, but on the other hand, if humans are just chemistry, and not someone who hates crusts on his sandwiches and talks about your family and whose dad runs a furniture store with an annoying jingle, it's easier to "deal with" them
The cliffhanger implies Walt might come clean, but I remember it's about his cancer, because Walt's inability to trust and to admit wrongdoing is a big fatal flaw
I forogt about this episode but it's obviously pretty important. It helps characterize the rest of Walt's family, and shows another significant step on Walt's path downwards.
